Experience Details

If you’re a food lover, craft enthusiast, and nature admirer – this is the perfect trip for you!


Just a short ride from Zagreb, Samobor is a charming baroque town full of colorful facades, artisan shops, and delicious local food. Surrounded by rolling hills and protected nature, it offers a perfect mix of culture and tradition.


We’ll explore the town’s historic center, visit a handmade crystal shop (weekdays only), and try local specialties like Bermet (spiced dessert wine) and Mustarda (sweet-spicy condiment).


Next, we head to the nearby village of Rude to visit the restored medieval St. Barbara Mine. Walk through ancient tunnels with a local guide and discover how miners once worked underground.


The day ends with a relaxing meal at a traditional restaurant, where you’ll choose from a variety of local specialties like Samobor salami, češnofka sausage, soups, or slow-cooked meat.

What You’ll Experience

Rudnik sveta Barbara (The Saint Barbara mine)

Become a Miner for a Day at the St. Barbara Mine! Ready for something truly different? Swap your daily routine for a helmet and a headlamp, and step into the mysterious world beneath Rude! At the St. Barbara Mine, you’ll feel like a real miner—just for a day. Equipped with a hard hat and mining light, you’ll explore centuries-old tunnels carved deep into the earth, once rich with iron and copper. This isn’t your typical tourist stop. Mines aren't something you visit every day—and that’s exactly what makes it so special. It's unusual, fun, and refreshingly offbeat! Hear fascinating stories of miners' lives, discover old tools, and enjoy a hands-on adventure that’s both educational and exciting. And don’t leave without trying rudarska greblica—a traditional snack once loved by local miners. Whether you're a history lover, a curious explorer, or just looking for something new, the St. Barbara Mine offers a day out like no other!

Samobor

Why Do Locals Love Samobor? Come See for Yourself! Just a short trip from Zagreb, Samobor is where locals escape to relax, eat well, and enjoy nature. This charming little town has it all—cobblestone streets, cozy cafés, and that famous Samobor cream cake (kremšnita) you simply must try! Take a leisurely walk along the Gradna stream, explore the ruins of the Old Town fortress with epic views, or dive into the town’s rich history dating back to the 13th century. And when hunger strikes, you're in for a treat—Samobor is home to traditional restaurants with decades (even centuries!) of culinary heritage. Try local specialties like čušpajz, kotlovina, or greblica, all made with love and local ingredients. It’s the kind of place where time slows down, food tastes better, and every corner invites a photo. So do as the locals do—pack your curiosity (and appetite!) and spend a perfect day in Samobor!
